Led bulbs

Color me crazy.... What voltage are the existing incandescent bulbs? That should settle the debate pretty quick.

My ancient 1973 Terry TT had a couple of 120v fixtures, and the rest 12v. But anything even close to modern will have 12v lights throughout.

Totally Agree!

Searching the web to no avail. Just bought a stationary RV trailer with 110/120 volts. Where can I find plug in bulbs to change to LED ? All I can find are 12 volt.

110/120 volt LED
Lowes
Home depot
Supermarkets
Hardware stores
Mennards
Any "Lighting Store"
I find 'em all over everywhere

NOTE: I have one... Now this is a "Novelty" lamp. (Halloween) Causes MAJOR. and I mean MAJOR Radio frequency interference.

120 volt lamps come in what I will call 3 groups
1: Standard screw in (edison base) like a 60 watt or 100 watt. These are very very common.

Odd size screw in (like a c7 or C9 base (best shot is the Big Box places Lowes/HomeDepot/Mennards

Plug in (I do not know the numbers) same as odd size best shot is the big box. Take either a lamp or a phot (Put a ruler behidn it) with you.

I have a friend in SE Georgia. I upgraded a few of her lights to LED.. Major improvement. not that expensive.. I got two of the lamps at the local Bi-Lo Grocery store.

My previous RV, the safari dp
Had 120 scone lights at 120v kitchen lights

I bought led replacement lamps at home depot

I notice the OP said plug in lights
Not standard screw base bulbs

Okay so I tried two different LED plug in bulbs to no avail. They are working bulbs. Two of the light fixtures in this trailer have LED bulbs in them, both working.

I don't know you set up but, LED bulbs are specific in which way the currant goes through them. I bought a bulb for above the stove in my TT. I complained that it didn't work and was told to turn it around and pulg it in the other way. It has been working fine since then.

Permanently located "house trailers" such as the OP's often are wired with 120 vac lighting, not 12 vdc.

What would that be in Metric?

My old ‘78 Beaver TC had two 110 light bulbs plus 12 volt. Haven’t seen that since. Be careful. Don’t rely on a screw in base to determine 110.
